Pogona

Pogona is all finished up and blocked! Logan wanted to wear it, but I knew you wouldn't be able to see either of them if they were together. I followed the pattern, but kept going so I could use as much yarn as possible. I have less than a hexipuff's worth left. The yarn I used is Tempted's Hand Painted Prissy Grrl Sock in Echo. The yarn base is Alpaca/Silk/Cashmere. You can imagine how soft and drapey this yarn is. I think if you actually knit socks out of it, they would slide right off your feet into a puddle of softness. It's great for shawls and scarves though. The color is a dark ivory - almost the color of tea, prepared by children: way too much milk and probably way too much sugar also. It's a good neutral though.

It was a fun knit, and once I understood what the pattern was doing, went pretty quickly. The shape is interesting but should be fun to wear.
